...Florida Governor's race pitted two lavish campaigners against each other. Democrat Robert Graham, a millionaire Miami Lakes land developer and dairyman, spent $2.6 million. His Republican opponent, Jack Eckerd, who built a burgeoning chain of drugstores that bear his name, vowed to spend "whatever it takes" and ended up with a $2.9 million campaign, $2 million of which was his own. But Graham dispelled his wealthy Harvard image with a well-publicized series of 100 one-day stints at blue-collar jobs across the state. He won with a surprisingly large 56% of the vote...
Coach Joe Restic and the Multiflex had to bear a lot of the blame for that loss (along with Weird Incident Number One of the year--a two-point conversion on a trick play by the Lions). The three halfback offense seemed ineffectual at the time, and it looked even worse after the next week's results came in: a 10-0 trouncing of UMass with fullback Matt Granger in the power...

Turkey then was an easy scapegoat for the concerned parents of American drug addicts and the U.S. administration. It is certainly ironic that "Midnight Express" puts the country once again in the culprit's seat: this time not because it is lax in its regulation of opium cultivation, but because it is harsh with misguided foreigners who try to smuggle hashish out of the country. If Billy Hayes got a "raw deal" from the Turkish government, this was due not to any wickedness...
